A SPEEDY ENDING
OF the Chicago Builders Strike Expected
Inv the Men.

of the Chicago Builders Strike Expected
by the Men.
CHICAGO. May 81. The bricklayers
appear to he well pleased with the turn
labor matters are taking, and they regard
a break of the bosses as imminent.
The members of the Executive Commit
tee, which is to have control of the trouble
hereafter, were among the first to arrive at
the hall this morning. They immediately
proceeded to the ante-IOom In Greene
baum's Hall and went To work.
According to the report OF this commit
tee, abont 1000 briCkmen are now at work
in the city and some geo or 800 are SAID 10
have secured jobs in country towns near
Not q cent as yet has been drawn iron the
treasury for the support of idle members,
and If it becomes necessary to support any
the money will be raised by assessment
upon those at work until it becomes posi-
lively necessary to use the reserve.
Mr.. BrennOck says that very few earPen-
tiers are out of work. The lockout has not
been a success in that branch OF the build
ing trade. IT has thrown few men out,
but not enough to make Peneptible ell
feet on the organization.
The Bricklayers' Union held a largely
attended meeting last night in Battery ID
ArmOry to hear the report of the commit
tee which had attended the meeting oil the
Council of the Union of the Amalgamated
Building Trades. The committee report
detailed the proceedings and recommended
II o. 4
the bricklayers in that body.
The report was discussed at great leng'h
and it was finally decided to send dele
gates TO the council meeting, which takes
place tonight. II was also decided 70
continue the strike. Several addresses
were made, in which it was stated that
the bosses were weakening and would soon
give in.

"ENECUTIvE MANSION, !
WASHINGTON, May II, 1887.
" .Nr. William &. RoIciin, QUmicrmdS'Cr,
Wilmington, Dd:
"DEAR SIR am in receipt of your
letter of the 9TH transmitting handsomely
engrOssed resolutions of Gen. L. S. Grant
Post, No. Il, approving my executive &c
ton in vetoing the Dependent Pension
bill. heg to express through you to the
members OF the Post my appreciation of
their endorsement and my thanks for the
courtesy manifested in the form Of their
approval. 1t sometimes happens that OIL
Cial conduct clearly demanded by an i'm
perative obligation of public duty is made
difficult by counter influences and incli-
nations which grow ont of sympathy or by
u disposition to follow with ease and COM
fort the apparent current Of popular
opinion.
Those of our citizens not holding office,
and thus entirely free from the solemn
obligation of protecting the interests OF
the people, often fail to realize
that their public servants are to
a large extent debarred in official action
from the indulgence of these charitable inn
pulses which in private life are not only
harmless but commendable. While this
deprivation should he regarded ~ one OF
the stern incidents of faithful perform
ance OF official duty, and while it should
he endured with the resignation arising
from an untaltering faith in the ultimate
Justice of the American people, it is never
theless gratifying to receive such express
sion a, are contained in the resolutions
now before me.
Yours very truly,

THE RIVER MEN TALK.

the Commissioners.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 21.-J. w.
Bryant representing the steamboat interests
on the. Ohio aud Mississippi rivers addressed
the interstate commerce commission to-
day in opposition to tie further suspension
of the 18th section as respects the roads COM
peting with the river lines. He submitted
afiidavits in REPUTATION of the testimony of
the railroad men, that the river lines have
no fixed tariffs. These show that steam
boats, as their managers phrase it, have,
unfortunately for us, tariff rate which is
made by our enemies and COMPETE
tors, the railway lines. The affida-
Wits set forth that the boats are governed
absolutely and entirely by. the rates and
tariffs first set by the Louisville and Nash
vile, Ciucinuatia nd Southern, Ohio and
Mississippi, and Chesapeake and Ohio
roads and their connections, and that in all
cases the river men take the printed rates
of the roads for their guide"

From the Pope in Regard to the Case of

NEW YORK, May 2l-Archbishop Cor
rigan received the following ettcr to-day
regarding the ease of DIR. McIilynn:
40 Ow Venerable Brother, Nirh"d A"g"S-
line Corrigan, Irclbi~Lop of Ner York:
VENERABLE BROTHER: Health and
the apostolic benediction. Your letter
dated the second day OF April last has
reached us, in which yOu lament the con
tumarious dsobedience of priest, one Of
Your subjects, not only against your
sell, but also toward the Apostolic
See, and anxiOusly seek to
bring before the supreme tribunal
OF our authority the false doctrines con-
corning the right Of poverty, disseminated
by him among the people, in private and
in public assemblies. We, therefore,
moved by these, your words expressed to
rs by lust grief of heart and in the con-
scicntiouS discharge OF duty, have acct
rately considered the whole series OF facts
from the beginning and have especially
seen with commentator your hrmneSS,
Joined with signal charity 1t has been
indeed great grief to US to see
THE REBELLION
which has arisen against your authority III
your city, through the deeds OF some craft
Ily devised Vaccinations and the open
conspiracy OF faction OF men, and our an
ruish has been all the greater since, FROM
Information lately conveyed To us, we have
heard that there are some others OF the
Clergy imbued with the doctrines of this
priest. who have not heSltated 10
adhere to him, although the clergy
generally of the whole diocese and the
greater and better part OF the city, gladly
remained with unchanged will IN faithful
obedience and loyalty tO you. 1t Is IN
deed grateful to us and approved by us
that you have labOred to crush, ere they
sprang mp, the vicious seeds OF doctrines
scattered under the preteXt OF helping the
masses. Nor is it less to your praise that
with long suffering and patience you have
not ceased with!watchful industry to calm
PROUD AND RESTLESS SPIRITS,
although they have not refraired from
ISLANDERS against YOU and this apostolic
See. 1t is lifting then that you should he
of GOOD heart and with unwavering hrm-
ness apply all your strength to the work OF
the salvation of souls and in defending the
sanctity of faith and discipline. Never
theless, led by Christ you will leave
nothing untried that with paternal benev-
olence you may embrace those who are tie
ceiyed by this new doctrine, If they return
to wiser counsels. We, however, viii
never permit any injury to your good
name and dignity, much less to the author,
itv of this apostolic See, and we will not
fail to make known to you through the
congregation of the propaganda, timely
measures
FOR THE CORRECTION or THE REBELLION.
Meanwhile, we earnestly pray the God
of consolation that he will console you,
venerable brother tried by so many cares,
and rs pledge of his divine favor and a
proof of our special affection for you, We
iov ingly bestow upon you the Clergy ana
the people committed to your care the
apostolic benediction.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

The fourth volume of the Narrative and Critical History of America is out. It is equal to any of it's predecessors in interest and merit, which is saying much. Besides the introduction, the following subjects are treated: Cortereal, Verrazano, Gomez, Thevet, by George Dexter; Jacques Cartier and his Successor, by B. F. Da Costa; Champlain, by Edmund F. Slater; Acadia, by Charles c. Smith, Discovery Along the Great Lakes, by Edward D. Neill; Joliet, Marquette and La Sale, by the editor Justin Winson); Father Louis Hennepin, by the editor; Baron La Hontan, by the editor; The Jesuits, Recol- 1ects, and the Indians, by John Gilmary Shea; the Jesuit Relations, by the editor; Frontenac and his Times, by George Stewart, ir.; New Netherland, or the Dutch in North America, by Berthold Fernow; New Sweden, or the Swedes on the Delaware, by Gregory B. Keen.
 The introduction to the volame is by no means it's least notable feature, and many will think it its best. It is written by Pro- lessor IN. s. Sha1er of Harvard university, and deals with the physiography of North America. Our country, he says, is propor- tionately richer in the useful metals than any other that is well known to us. No other continent save Asia is likely to develop anything like these coal resources; in China
 
 North America, but the richness of the fields has not yet been fully proven. "As the latest power of any modern society depends in an intimate way upon the buried stores of ..solar energy in coal beds, the large area and good quality of the Ameri- can coal fields are very important advantages and are full of promise for the economic flu ture of the people," ''The general physical conditions of the American continent closely resemble those of Europe, and in all the more important matters our race gained rather than lost by it's transfer" Reviewing the products of the soil he says the settle ment of the country would have been hardly possible but for maize, and he also says that it was tobacco that SO built up the South as to make slavery profitable.
 As each volume of this great history comes before the public the scope and value of the work become more apparent. Its plan is 8 grand one, and it is being carried out with very great ability and skill. It is published by Houghton, Mitfiin & Co, of Boston, and is sold by subscription. The agent for this vicinity is G. M. Dayton, a4s Main street, Hartford.
